I don't typically dress up for Halloween but this year my niece (5 years old) was having a Birthday Halloween Party. She requested everyone come dressed in costumes.
I knew right away I wanted to go as Minnie Mouse but this also means I need a Mickey Mouse. We will get to that part later. In July of this year, we took our son to Disney World. You know, where the magic happens. While there I got some ears for myself and my son. You can't go without getting the ears.

Hey Cuties,
On Monday, October 4th my best friend and I were audienc guest on the Wendy Williams Show. I'm a big Wendy Williams fan although she keeps some controversy going. I've also never sat in the audience of a live taping. We took the Mega Bus up and arrived before the sun had come up.

Anyone that knows me knows I like funky and different things. Either I make them, stumble upon them or simply seek them out. Well one night I was OEF'ing (read browsing the inter webs) on Fotki natural hair albums. I came across this girl with some hot earrings on; picture after picture I saw bold, creative, and funky styles.

Okay so I have to give you the background story leading up to The Story. I took my love to NYC for the weekend as a Father's Day gift. We enjoyed the melting pot for 3 days with no kid in tow. (Thanks to my son's Aunt and Uncle who took great care of him while we were gone)

I was on a quest to find some super cute aqua socks. I began to Google search to find something cute and stylish. You know how I do! In my search I came across Vibram Five Fingers they are shoes that look like toe socks. Sweet I know, so I find a City Sports (2 blocks from my job) that sells them. I go in and check them out. What do I see a PINK PAIR! I immediately try them on and OMG it was heaven right here on earth. I purchased them and the craze began.

Most of the people that know me know just how crazy I am. Well this blog is a testament to such foolishness I love to indulge in. My boo (Bri) and I dubbed ourselves Lucy & Ethel years ago. Since the inception of our friendship there has been one foolish story after another. I think we have a crazy magnet that makes the simplest things sheer hilarity.

Back in the day I was featured on Black Girl Long Hair blog. This feature is for the Natural Hair Style Icon, I'm honored to be considered that. Those many years of documenting my natural hair journey certainly played a part.

Three Mother's Days in a row I have attended a tea with my mother and sister. Over those years I got the tea party itch and wanted to host a tea of my own. In 2006 I purchased my own tea set and let me tell you it is a beauty. The theme of my set is butterflies, but they are so tiny I won't actually use them. From then I began to shop around for all of the perfect accessories to coordinate nicely with my set. As luck would have it I found the perfect bowl and plate from Target. I found other random accessories from Home Goods, Michael's and any other spots that had something butterfly-esque.
